A familiar problem is cropping up for the Red Wings. They can’t score goals, an issue for quite a while now, and Tuesday it led to the Wings losing 2-0 in Nashville. The Predators returned home after a franchise-record 16-day road trip. But never mind tallying all those miles, and rarely leaving their hotel room, Nashville

It’s the first time the Wings (10-19-4) have been shutout in back-to-back games this season. A CALMER DEFENDER: Dennis Cholowski doesn’t worry about what the Wings think. Here’s

Trust the Yzerplan. The phrase is repeated over and over again, like a broken record, drilled into the collective minds of Detroit Red Wings fans everywhere. Yet there is a sense of anxiousness in Hockeytown as the Wings continue to barely outperform the Buffalo Sabres as the worst team in the NHL during the 2020-21

Dennis Cholowski no longer worries about impressing his bosses. He cares how he plays, of course, but he’s determined not to let doubts distract him from his mission to make the Detroit Red Wings. He’ll get another chance Tuesday when the Wings play the first of a mini-series in Nashville against the Predators. It’s been
Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay. Sergei Fedorov and Slava Kozlov. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. While every forward line consists of three players, what usually happens is the coach spots chemistry between two individuals and then they add a third player to pull the line together. Line-making is an imperfect science that usually takes a
Detroit — Dennis Cholowski is taking a different approach this time around. Instead of worrying about and critiquing his every play on the ice, wondering what the Red Wings’ front office and coaching staff are thinking, Cholowski has altered his mindset. “I’m kind of more calm,” Cholowski said during a Monday Zoom chat with media.
You would hardly know Adam Mitchell “made a difference” with the four-time Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings from 1997-2008. By day, the unassuming, mild-mannered Mitchell was a teacher and counselor in the Livonia public school system for more than 50 years. By night though starting in 1984, he would head down to Joe Louis Arena and
Coming off one of their better stretches, the Detroit Red Wings next face miniseries against the Nashville Predators and Columbus Blue Jackets. The past week ended on a bit of a dud with a 3-0 loss to the Dallas Stars, but the overall the Wings went 2-1, recording what was just their second two-game winning
Detroit — The NHL can administer tough, crushing lessons to a young team still learning how to win. The Red Wings, still in the formative stages of development, found that out yet again Saturday. The Wings have been taking some interesting steps forward since the start of the second half of this shortened season. Baby steps, for
The Detroit Red Wings’ roster is expected to undergo changes over the next three weeks, as general manager Steve Yzerman uses the April 12 trade deadline to fuel the rebuild. Knowing the franchise will be a seller for yet another spring isn’t much fun for the players, even when their names are not part of
Lane Kizziah | Special to Detroit Free Press If you follow college hockey, then you’ve heard about Michigan’s freshman class. Long before stepping foot into Yost Ice Arena, they combined to produce one of the best recruiting classes in the country. Each of the new players came with an accomplished resume and NHL draft hype. So
Detroit — The type of game the Red Wings want to play, need to play to be successful, Dallas plays similarly. Defense, low-scoring, tight-checking, be opportunistic offensively, and depend on your goaltender to make the needed saves. The Wings did it well Saturday, but the Stars were better in a 3-0 victory Saturday. Tanner Kero (Hancock/Michigan Tech), Andrej
It was one of those games where not much happened. The Detroit Red Wings hosted the Dallas Stars Saturday at Little Caesars Arena, engaging in a lot of north-south hockey but lacking in excitement. It ended with a 3-0 loss for the Wings, fresh off what was only their second two-game winning streak of the
Detroit — The Red Wings are going to be without goaltender Jonathan Bernier for days, or longer. That’s the picture coach Jeff Blashill laid out during Friday’s call with media, implying Bernier’s lower-body injury suffered in Thursday’s victory over Dallas is a bit hazy. “I would just say it’s day to day until I know more,” Blashill
It wasn’t that long ago — not even one month, in fact — that the Detroit Red Wings’ power play was listless. From Jan 30 through February 27, the team failed to score a single power play goal, a span of 40 attempts with the man advantage. It was frustrating, embarrassing, and frankly, the talk
The Detroit Red Wings consider Jonathan Bernier day-to-day with a lower-body injury. That sounds relatively optimistic given he left the ice needing help from two teammates. He didn’t practice Friday, and coach Jeff Blashill said, “my gut is yes,” when asked if Bernier will, at the very least, miss Saturday’s game against the Dallas Stars
The Detroit Red Wings are having fun, their hard work finally paying off with good results. They are poised to build what would be their first three-game winning streak of the season when they host the Dallas Stars on Saturday, buoyed by a sizzling line.
